Ms and pregnancy

My husband is being scanned for ms. My side of the family doesn't have it but his mom does.  We are 5.5 weeks pregnant and I am wondering the percentage of our baby having it?  Does anyone know? I've tried looking it up but am having a hard time.

I do know that having a first degree relative increases the chances of having it when you're older, but not sure the percentage.

MS isn't typical in babies at all.  I've actually never heard of kids having it. It isn't a genetic disorder like cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia. Not sure of the chances of the baby having it when they grow up though.
